Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Emano Flow with software version v2.0.0 GS1 GTIN code: 199874903484 recall: Problem description/Reason for recall: During the period March 22, 2026

Recall published 3 months ago

Problem description/Reason for recall: During the period March 22, 2026, to May 29, 2026, recorded urination audio was captured at 48,000 Hz while the model was trained and validated on 44,100 Hz audio. The models depend on the sampling so every recording in the window was therefore processed against a time/frequency scale the models did not expect, producing systematically biased Qmax, Qmean, and voided-volume estimates. The problem usually over-reports flow rate and volume; the firm have made corrected results available to care teams.

The hazard: Device safety concern

The manufacturer or the FDA identified a problem with this device. The model, lot and catalogue numbers are what define the scope.

Why it matters: The FDA recorded an enforcement action against this device. Most device recalls are corrections rather than removals, so the device often stays in use while the manufacturer issues a fix.

What to do about Device

  1. Match the model, catalogue, lot and serial numbers on your device against the identifiers on this page.
  2. Report device problems to the FDA through MedWatch.

  4. Ask the supplier or clinic that provided it what the remedy is in your case.

Who pays for a device recall

The manufacturer funds the remedy. The practical question is usually which link in the chain executes it.

  • If a clinic fitted or supplied the device, start there — they hold the serial-number records the manufacturer needs.
  • Ask for written confirmation that the remedy was applied to your serial number. That is what an insurer or a future clinician will want to see.
  • If you bought it yourself online or from a pharmacy, go to the manufacturer’s recall page rather than the retailer; device claims are handled centrally.
  • Where the remedy is a software update, there is nothing to claim, but do confirm the version changed afterwards.
